	Grey Goo
	"Grey Goo Iron II" "Grey Goo Iron II" The sound of the Goo soldiers chant echoed around the alley. The girls coudn't move, they were paralysed with fear. "GREY GOO IRON II!" "GREY GOO IRON II!" The volume of chanting peaked as the soldiers flooded into the alley. Powerful lights were shone in the friends' faces, while strong arms grabbed them, holding them still. A wall of blank faces surrounded them, each with a gun pointing straight at them. A silence fell as the wall of soldiers parted to reveal a short, slight woman dressed in billowing grey trousers, gathered at the ankle. Grey high heeled boots and a tight fitting jacket, with what looked like a dead squirrel (grey of course) sewn into the collar completed the ensemble. This was Farticus Froggus, the Woman in Grey, one of the most feared women in the land. Now she stepped forward. "So you dare to defy the Grey Goo? Who are you working for?" The friends stared at her, a mixture of fear and defiance on their faces. "I asked you a question, said Froggus, in steely tones. The girls exchanged glances but still did not speak. "Fine, perhaps this will persuade you." And with that, she lunged forward and grabbed Tara's ear. She twisted it brutally. "LEAVE HER ALONE!" shouted Abi. But Froggus just yanked harder, and evil smile twisting on her lips. "Alright! We'll co-operate!" said Emily, a stricken look on her face. As Froggus released Tara, Abi's eyes narrowed. "You bit - " She was cut off as a soldier put his hand over her mouth. "And your trousers look stupid too!" screeched Emily, before she too, was silenced. "Yeah, what do you think you are? Some kind of pirate/farmer/Aladdin thing?!" yelled Tara. "Enough of this!" barked Froggus. "Take them away!" The soldiers began dragging the struggling girls away, resuming their chant.
